Kyler Murray scored a touchdown on Sunday, and did a seated meditation pose, which looked really cool … but for some reason, everyone thought he was channeling Baby Yoda.
This is funny for a few reasons. First of all, wouldn’t the first thought be that it was mediation and not a popular pop culture reference?
Second: Kyler Murray has never seen any Star Wars, as you’ll see below. So yeah, it wasn’t Baby Yoda.
I’ll even throw in a third reason: One of his teammates nicknamed him Baby Yoda!
Confused? Alright, let’s break it down. Here’s the celebration, which everyone thought was Baby Yoda in Season 2 of The Mandalorian:

Uh, but he’s never seen Star Wars and so that wasn’t a Baby Yoda pose:

Yet Chandler Jones has been calling him Baby Yoda this year:
Somebody tell baby yoda the truth about his new hairdo 🥴 https://t.co/4pJ6r0TFfs

Great team win! Baby Yoda went off tho!

The conclusion here: Jones needs to show Murray a bunch of Star Wars content before then showing him The Mandalorian so Murray can do a real Baby Yoda celebration. It’s not like Murray’s busy these days or anything.
